This module intends to create a base to be extended by local edi rules for accounting.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds electronic document exchange (EDI) support to accounting: invoices and journal entries get an EDI tab, a counter button and a menu to review their exchange records, plus configuration placeholders on journals and partners.
This module is a foundation that lets accounting documents be linked to electronic exchange records (the files sent to or received from external systems). It does not create any exchange format by itself; it prepares the screens so other modules can plug in their own rules.
Where it appears in Odoo:
- On an invoice or journal entry (account.move), a new "Electronic Data Interchange" group shows a checkbox "Disable automatic EDI" (edi_disable_auto), which can only be changed while the document is still in draft.
- A small EDI button with a counter appears in the document's button box, but only when at least one exchange record is linked; clicking it opens those records.
- Under Accounting > Entries, a new "Exchange records" menu contains a "Moves" entry listing all exchange records related to accounting entries.
- The journal form gets an empty "EDI Configuration" section, and the partner form gets an empty "Account" section inside its EDI tab, ready to be filled by extension modules.
Business behaviour: the module mainly extends account.move with the exchange-consumer behaviour, so accounting documents can be tracked against their electronic exchanges. No automatic checks, computations, emails or scheduled jobs are added by the code shown.
